Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
